Switch from antinatalism to pronatalism
As fertility rates declined around the world, countries have switched from antinatalist to pronatalist policies, in some cases transitioning through an intermediate stage of not having a significant policy either way.
Country | Fertility information | Year of announced switch to some form of pronatalism | TFR in that year | Last year (among years before or shortly after the switch) with TFR at or above replacement fertility (if TFR returned to replacement much later, that is ignored) |
